The "clockspring" is broken. I would think the air bag light would also be on?

Center a rack and pinion from under the dash

yes you possibly can ( depends on the room available.)
I would do the centring at the top of the rack and pinion as this is where a multi spline is that will allow for correct centring.
when you get the shaft off the box
firstly turn the rack from lock to lock ( wheels of the ground) and position the shaft at the midpoint of the turns counted fro left to right
next with the steering wheel place it in the straight ahead position
put the shaft back on the rack and tighten up the lock bolt

Steering wheel turn all the way around no control

If your steering wheels turns all the way but your wheels don't:
This would have to be either a broken rack and pinion(steering gear) or the shaft between the rack and pinion and the steering wheel would have to be broken. This would need to be visually inspected to be sure which is the problem.

I would have to guess that your steering wheel is no longer connected to the rack (as opposed to something in the rack breaking). My best guess is that your steering column shaft snapped.

They can be replaced, and the necessary parts are sold, but it's not the easiest thing in the world to replace.

stick your head down under the dash on the driver's side where the brake and gas pedals are, and look up at the steering shaft (can't miss it). Now turn the steering wheel. Does that shaft turn?

Power steering fluid leak in 99 Toyota Corolla

look for split in the hard line where fluid is leaking. If you see split, change the line only. make sure power steering reservoir is filled and rack and pinion is full (charge with steering wheel left/right motion). You should be able to remove wheel and inside wheel panel to see power steering fluid shooting out of any hole. There is hydraulic pressure on the lines.

Steering wheel radio control not working

You most likely have a defective Combination switch (Also known as "Spiral Cable" or "Clockspring") The audio system uses pins 14, 18, and 17 of the combination switch to make conmection to the audio system. Pin 17 is the reference voltage in. A failure here, will cause ALL audio controls to malfunction at the same time.
The cruise control uses Pins 19 & 20 of the combination switch....Totally different circuit. Just because this circuit is working, does not mean that the problem is not in the combination switch.

My 2005 altima's steering is stiff. The PS fluid is good. Mechanic changed the serpentine belt that was cracked wondering if that would help, but it didn't. it is making no noise. What should i...

no noise when turning and stiff steering is usually narrowed down to 2 things. a bad power steering pump or bad rack and pinion assembly. the rack and pinion is most of the time leaking fluid when it is bad, but you stated the fluid is good. I suggest to remove the power steering reservoir cap , start the engine and look inside the reservoir. the fluid should be swirling if the pump is working especially when turning the steering wheel. if the fluid isn' t moving then the pump is most likely bad.

Pontiac G5. Steering wheel spins freely, wheels don't turn. Is this a U joint issue?

either the steering shaft has broke or the rack and pinion is broke have someone turn the wheel and look under hood near where the steering shaft meets the rack and pinion. do you see it spinning? if so the rack is most likely broke inside. if not the steering shaft may have snapped. hope this helps

2003 Nissian Altima the steering wheel is hard to turn and has no automtic return

Either your rack and pinion has gone out or your power steering pump is bad, or out of fluid.
As you stand in front of you car with the hood open, look down and to the left. You are looking for the pwer steering pump resevior. It will have 2 hoses coming out of it and a cap that has a picture of a steering wheel.
Open that and you can check the fluid.
Please let me know what you find.

I have a 2005 honda crv, after changing the steering rack the cruise control is not working

There is a cable reel (clock spring) in the steering column. If it was not centered when you put in the rack than it probably broke.... Is the SRS light on too? This cable reel allows electrical connection to the air bag and the cruise control switch (mounted to the steering wheel), so you can turn the wheel. Its operating range is two and a half turns from center in both direction. When you disconnect the steering coupler from the rack the steering wheel moves, now the cable reel is not centered. If you put it back on in this position and turn the steering wheel fully to one side the cable reel breaks. That could be what happened, however the cable reel is very expensive so make sure that's it before replacing. I recommend performing an input test on the cruise control unit to confirm.
